WARRENITE Uuvmly .satisfactory hard surface! which can ho laid over old inacadam,Vtswas dono in the case of tho Linnton Uoad. Instead of excavating and throwing away the old macadam road bed. which originally cost a considerable sum of money, this was utilized for tho base and rcdroscd with two inches of WAKRENJTE surface at a comparatively low cost. This method has proven fully as good as where the ojd base is removed and a now one substituted. WARRENITE surface for country roads is composed of the varying sizes of the best stone obtainable, and bituminous cement, having all the durability and stability required of a successful country road surface. WARRENITE, in modified form, is constructed, under 'the same general principles, supervision and care as the Bitulithic street pavement, the growth of which has bcenuinprccedentcd in the paving world. WAKliKKlTE is es M pccially adapted for the surfacing of country highways subjected to the rav ages of automobile traffic, The First Hard-Surface Road Laid in Oregon THE LINNTON ROAD, MULTNOMAH COUNTY " Paved With WARRENITE X Mm M.
